Eugenol has already had its pharmacological properties elucidated in previous studies, including antibacterial and antifungal properties. Based on such information, this study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and modulatory activity of coumarin compounds prepared from dihydroeugenol and to associate them with blue LED light for the same activity. For this study, five of the substances available: compound 1 (C1), 8-methoxy-2-oxo-6-propyl-2H-chromen-3-carboxylic acid, compound (C2), 3-(hydroxy(4-nitrophenyl)methyl)-8- methoxy-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one, compound 7 (C3), 8-hydroxy-3-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one, compound 8 (C4), 3-(4-aminobenzoyl)-8-methoxy-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one and Compound 9 (C5), 8-methoxy-3-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one 2-one. To determine the MIC, the broth microdilution technique was used. The products were evaluated for their potential to modulate the activity of antibiotics. Afterward, the plates were submitted to blue LED light for 20 min. When exposed to LED, C3 exhibited a decrease in MIC for SA ATCC and C5 for EC ATCC, with an average of 645.08 μg/mL for both cases. C2 and C4 exhibited synergism in a greater number of situations. However, C3 showed promising activity against S. aureus. C1 and C2 already acted better against E. coli, with the difference that C1 acted better against these bacteria when associated with LED. In general, the compounds studied here exhibited good antibacterial activity when associated with LED.
•The compounds studied here exhibited good antibacterial activity when associated with LED.•C2 and C4 compounds exhibited synergism with antibiotics.•C2 exhibited synergism in all situations tested without the LED.
